Barcelona, who came from 2-0 down in the first leg of the last round to beat AC Milan 4-2 on aggregate, will come up against their former striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

PSG sporting director Leonardo said Barcelona were red-hot favourites, and played down speculation linking the French club with a move for Wayne Rooney.

Leonardo told Sky Sports News: "We are the opposite of the other clubs in these times of economic problems. All the big players - I am not talking about Rooney - want to come. It's something we are very happy with.

"Rooney is one of the best players in the world."

"We never did nothing, we never talked with nobody and if one day we decide to do something the first one who will know that will be Manchester United.

"It's not the case now, there is nothing, nothing, nothing.

"We have never moved for any other player, not only Rooney."

Leonardo said Barcelona were "red hot favourites", adding to www.uefa.com: "It is the most difficult draw against the best team in the competition. We play the return leg at their home ground. It won't be easy, but we are looking forward to it because Paris deserves to be part of what will be a celebration of football.

"We get the chance to measure ourselves against one of the greatest sides of all time. Barcelona are the red-hot favourites, it's a celebration in which anything can still happen".

Barcelona sporting director, and the club's former goalkeeper, Andoni Zubizarreta said the experience of being 2-0 down to AC Milan had hit home with the players.

He said: We have just experienced something in the round of 16 that demands us to be prudent. "We have to look on playing the second leg in Barcelona as being positive. PSG have very good players with a lot of talent and with their experience and knowledge of playing these types of games I am sure they will be challenging right until the end. They are very competitive and we will be coming up against several players we know quite well."

Borussia Dortmund coach Jurgen Klopp admitted his side and opponents Malaga had both been surprises.

"Borussia Dortmund and Malaga are two teams that have surprised with their performances in the Champions League this season," he said. "So one thing is certain: there will be a surprise team in the semi-final. The way they eliminated Porto shows that they have a lot of quality in their squad."
